  The SAP error message /SCMB/DM_DLV199 indicates that there is an issue with the Advanced Shipping Notification (ASN) process in the Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. Specifically, the error message states that the reference purchase order's status does not allow any ASNs for the specified item.
  Cause:
  The error can occur due to several reasons, including:
  
  
  Purchase Order Status: The purchase order (PO) referenced in the ASN may be in a status that does not permit ASNs. For example, the PO might be closed, canceled, or in a status that restricts further processing.
  
  
  Item Status: The specific item in the purchase order may have a status that prevents ASNs from being created. This could be due to various reasons, such as the item being blocked for delivery.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that restrict ASN creation based on certain criteria.
  
  
  Incomplete Data: The ASN may be missing required data or may not meet the necessary conditions for processing.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Purchase Order Status:
  
  Go to the purchase order in question and check its status. Ensure that it is open and allows for ASNs.
  If the PO is closed or canceled, you may need to create a new PO or re-open the existing one if possible.
  
  
  
  Review Item Status:
  
  Check the status of the specific item in the purchase order. Ensure that it is not blocked for delivery or in a status that prevents ASN processing.
  
  
  
  Verify ASN Data:
  
  Ensure that all required fields in the ASN are filled out correctly and that the ASN meets the necessary criteria for processing.
  
  
  
  Consult Configuration:
  
  If you have access to system configuration, review the settings related to ASN processing to ensure there are no restrictions in place that would prevent ASNs from being created.
  
  
  
  Contact Support:
